Big Joke's rehabilitation continues: Former immigration chief will sit at the top table of RTP after reshuffle

He was always rumoured to be a "bagman", whatever that means, for Prawit when he was head of Immigration. He used to travel all over the country on important but often unspecified missions and did things like investigating illegal casinos that were nothing to do with Immigration. Then he allegedly upset someone rather important and had to be removed temporarily from the police, with only Prawit's intervention allegedly saving him from prison.  After an appropriate period on the bench with many wais and apologies Prawit was apparently to arrange for his rehab back into the police. This new appointment shows that Prawit is still pulling all the strings, as he was with Brother Prayut as the front man, but now openly. Big Joke's rise will come to an end if Big Pom (Prawit) loses power or Big Joke hits retirement, whichever comes first.

How is it that there are so many Monday morning quarterbacks that can be so specific about who Big Joke may or not be? Okay, I’ll join the bandwagon. I believe that the man is underestimated and will be an asset for the RTP. The more power to him. You can say what you want, I recall him being against immigration officers taking money under the table.

He got offside with his boss, the Chief of the RTP, by threatening to blow the lid on high level corruption associated with the immigration biometrics project (a pet project of the RTP Chief). 

 

I think he might have a different style if he makes it to Chief.

When he was appointed head of CM Immigration some years ago he cleaned it up immediately.

The CM office had people lining up at 5 am just to get in ..... and treating people pretty bad .

Big Joke made a visit and  voila ............. all of a sudden everything was cleaned up !

Now,  its slipped a bit, but not so bad .   And still a lot less people (covid)  than that time before

An amazing resurrection. Most who did what he did do not return from the woodshed.

 

Can't see why he won't become national police chief in the future.

 

I wish he would... he seems to be one of the few that understand what the job entails.
